Strafe1: Does your passenger-side mirror tilt down when in reverse...so you can avoid curbing the wheels when parking? I had the MB Tex seats on my 2010 and loved everything about that option except the absence of the tilt function when in reverse. Would be great if it changed for the 2012 coupe. Thanks.

Not on the 2010. The interior and driver's side rear view mirrors will dim automatically when light from headlights falls directly on the sensor in the interior rear view mirror.

Congrats Im only 21 so I know how much this car probably means to you. Those headlights on a C63 are definitely unique! Can you take a picture with them on!? Also did you get an LSD on yours? In Canada we have only two options; luxury package and performance package... they are both brutally expensive, but include everything. I wish I was allowed to spec the car out individually it looks as though you got everything you wanted, and nothing you didnt! Post more pictures! Im curious on the dynamica on the rear seats and those headlights (yours is the only C63 Ive seen with them)

I don't think the lights and leather are options in Canada.

Sorry, I haven't been on the forums for a few days. I'll get some more pics tonight of the headlights and seats...

No LSD, don't really have any problems with grip, obviously If i want to fishtail or spin the tires I can, the traction control does a good job when needed.

I plan on keeping this car for maybe 2-3 years, and after that will stay with an AMG model probably loaded with HID's. Honestly from the first time I get behind the wheel the halogens become such a minor issue that I don't even think about it really. You get wonderfully bombarded with massive power and comfortable yet rock solid feel.

No offense to the op - you have an awesome car!! I think it is INSANE that MBUSA is selling an AMG, at this price point, with things like HIDs and fully electric seats optional! You suck MBUSA!

I believe it was 2 weeks ago. It depends on the allocation slot your dealer has open and they're 3 other ahead of me.

Congrats on the car! I can't believe you guys have the Xenon headlights as an option, for the AMG anyway. Over here, they are standard on the AMG range.

Wow I've never seen a C63 without projectors in the headlamps.

Congrats on the new car!
